As the trial finished at Woolwich Crown Court of the six Palestine Action activists who entered the Filton factory to destroy Israeli killer drones, Starmer, Cooper, Lammy and Mahmood are left bereft of a single guilty verdict in the case on which they relied heavily to label Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation.
I could not, on pain of imprisonment, tell you this during the trial. One item produced by the prosecution as evidence was the notebook of Charlotte Head, on which she had written details from her training session with Palestine Action and of the proposed direct action against Elbit’s drone factory.
The first ten pages of her notes were about the Israeli weapons company Elbit, their footprint in the UK, their corporate structure and the weapons they manufacture, and the evidence of the use of their weaponry in the genocide in Gaza.
The jury were shown the notebook but were specifically not allowed to see the first ten pages. Throughout the trial anything that referred to the crimes of Elbit, their role in the mass killing and mutilation of women and children, and their cosy relationship with the British government, was excluded from the jury. The judge continually stopped the defence lawyers from asking or saying anything about who Elbit are or why their property was being attacked.
The defendants were not permitted therefore to explain to the jury why they did what they did – which you might have believed was a pretty fundamental right. The jury were additionally, in effect, instructed by Judge Johnson to convict on the least serious charge, that of criminal damage.
But despite the state taking every possible precaution to ensure that the state got its convictions in this show trial, the jury refused to find that trying to stop Genocide is a crime.
This trial was fundamental to the government’s argument that Palestine Action is a terrorist organisation. And the key to that was the accusation that Palestine Action from the start intended harm to people, not just to property. That is why these defendants were all charged with “aggravated burglary”.
Aggravated burglary is an extremely serious charge, carrying a potential life sentence. It is the offence of breaking into a property with the intent to use a weapon. On aggravated burglary, all six defendants were found resoundingly Not Guilty.
So the attempt to portray Palestine Action as an organisation involved in violence against persons has fallen flat on its face. Because the jury could see it was stupid and obviously untrue.
When it comes to events after the activists were attacked by security guards, three of the six were found not guilty of the charge of “violent disorder”. On three others the jury could not reach a verdict.
Most interesting of all perhaps was the charge of criminal damage to Elbit’s machinery and instruments of genocide. Here Judge Johnson to all intents and purposes had instructed the jury to convict. Yet enough of the jury could not accept that stopping Genocide is a crime.
The final question was the charge against Samuel Corner of Grievous Bodily Harm with Intent. This was the famous incident where the security guards attacked the defendants with weapons and there was a melee as they defended themselves.
It is worth stating that the tabloid stories and right-wing meme of “a policewoman’s spine was fractured” was always utter nonsense. As the defence closing speech stated:
The prosecution have said it was a fracture to the spine, a deliberate choice of words which although technically accurate, conjure up a break, a snapping of the spinal vertebrae. Maybe that’s what the jury had in mind until they saw the CT scan – it was actually an injury that wasn’t obvious. The doctors looking at the first X-rays didn’t identify any bone damage, nor in an MRI later.
The injury didn’t require surgery and Sergeant Evans was advised to take painkillers and do physiotherapy. The agreed facts state from medical evidence that you’d expect such a fracture to heal in six to twelve weeks, with full healing in three to six months, and no long-term consequences.
The unfortunate policewoman suffered no damage at all to her spinal cord. She had a possible hairline fracture to the wing of one vertebra. That there was any fracture at all was never definitive from the X-rays and MRIs. Whether it reached the bar of grievous bodily harm was disputed; how it was caused was disputed; and whether there was any intent to harm was disputed. The refusal of the jury to convict was completely consistent with the evidence heard in court.
This has driven right-wingers into a frenzy with completely false claims about the extent of the injury, and continued reference to a highly edited brief video clip.
That video clip is extremely important because it represents the height of the state’s attempt to use this incident to demonise Palestine Action. The police were permitted, during the course of the trial, to release a single and highly edited clip of video said to represent the injury of Sergeant Evans by a sledgehammer. A great deal of other video evidence was not released. This resulted in a massive media frenzy.
Even before this, Yvette Cooper and Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Mark Rowley had caused massive prejudice by stating that a policewoman had been attacked with a sledgehammer.
None of these deliberate attempts to affect the trial was censured by the judge nor resulted in any proceedings for contempt of court. Yet we were strictly told we absolutely could not mention that the judge was withholding the evidence about Elbit from the jury, as that would prejudice the trial and we would face contempt of court proceedings.
On Sergeant Evans, she has become a cause célèbre for the right, but I should say there is no evidence she is herself whipping this up. Her behaviour on the night was admirable. She was not herself involved in the excessive use of force – and, despite her own painful back, tended to others after the event quietened.
In my view, this prosecution was doomed by the overcharging and exaggeration used by the government to demonise Palestine Action. The “aggravated burglary” charge was ludicrous. To attempt to claim that the activists entered the factory with the intent of using weapons against people, went so far against the evidence it was bound to fail.
The massive over-exaggeration of the extent of Sergeant Evans’s injury has successfully whipped up right-wing hysteria, but did not really meet the threshold of grievous bodily harm, and the decision to add intent to that charge was again not backed by evidence.
On criminal damage, the jury plainly refused to accept the destruction of weapons of genocide was a crime. For that, I salute them. For the rest, they simply applied robust common sense to the evidence before them.
The “policewoman attacked with a sledgehammer” nonsense of course featured heavily in the English judicial review of the proscription of Palestine Action. In the Scottish judicial review, they cannot really use this – not without a caveat that a jury did not agree with them.
The Filton result is great news for the Scottish judicial review. We have to submit all the paperwork for that, in just seven working days. I hate to say this, but we are now desperately short of funds to continue this action. I cannot keep asking the same supporters to give more, but if you know people who can afford it and will contribute please activate them.

Thank you, Craig, top-class reporting as usual. Amazing how low they are prepared to stoop.
PS typo: “painful bank” should read “painful back”
It’s worth noting that the prosecution failed not just to convict Samuel Corner of GBH, but also of less serious offences, according to this report:
“The jury have options in his case of finding him guilty of lesser offences – these could be Grievous Bodily Harm, Actual Bodily Harm With Intent, or Actual Bodily Harm.”
More here and here.
That didn’t stop the Police Federation of England and Wales and Avon and Somerset Police Federation from saying after the verdict that the police officer was seriously injured.
Thankyou again. Reporting the news is such an unusual thing to do!
Not a peep on the BBC site. I doubt there will be, unless it can be spun as not adding to Starmer’s woes.
My mistake: here is a story, that says there may be a retrial: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9wxlv99xrjo
It’s quite interesting that the appearance is of the state being caught on the hop. Do they want that appearance? They could have made the jury stay out for much longer, had they wanted, while banning reporting of the acquittal on one of the charges. Why didn’t they? The idea that the jury in such a case is a black box to the state may well be a fantasy. (Best not to underestimate the state.)
Perhaps there’s a reason that connects with the reporting of the Mandelson case and the relatively low amount of speculation in politics and the MSM about what Epstein was doing with all the information he was gathering from friends in government positions – not just in Britain but in much of the world.
I agree, I wouldn’t be surprised at jury vetting, jury planting and eavesdropping; add to that opportunist arse-licking by private individuals and it’s a wonder that any jury acquits. Perhaps the shade of Henry Fonda intervened. ;O)
What a loaded headline. It really shows up the partiality of the BBC on Palestine that they couldn’t bring themselves to run with a variant of ‘Palestine Action activists cleared’ like every other site else that covered the story.
Except, of course, the right wing gutter press – birds of a feather?
I have submitted a complaint to the BBC on this very issue. I wrote:
Case number CAS-8305655-F6F9P5
Misleading BBC Headline on Filton 6 Acquittals
Headline on report of acquittal of Filton 6 today
You really can’t get anything right can you? Your bias and prejudice shows through everytime.
Despite massively prejudicial comment on Palestine Action ‘violence’ they were all acquitted of aggravated burglary, which carries a life sentence.
There wasn’t a single conviction. So any headline should include these facts and acquittals. instead what your headline was
‘Palestine Action protesters await potential retrial’ – no mention of acquittals or the refusal of the jury, despite the judge trying to exclude all evidence of the arms factory in question, Elbit, role in the genocide in Gaza.
Your choice of headline was and is deliberate. An attempt to play down the massive victory in court today. You really are disgusting apologists for genocide and we have the chief genocide denier Robbie Gibb still as one of your Executives.
I look forward to an explanation of this latest example of your gross bias.
I notice that the BBC changed the headline from “found not guilty” to “awaiting retrial”.
Original headline: https://web.archive.org/web/20260204132250/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9wxlv99xrjo
I wonder why?
A bit of what the BBC staffers used to call “heavy breathing*”, I expect.
*where someone from the government contacts them and makes veiled threats that it would not be good for their image if the material is not dropped/changed, IIRC. In the old days, treated with a certain amount of contempt.
It’s not for no reason the Double Jeopardy rules were overturned in 2003. However, the requirement is for new evidence. The “first ten pages” of Charlotte Head’s notebook that are now in the public domain would suggest that new evidence is in the favour of the defendants. Thus the chances of a conviction from a new trial are less, rather than more likely unless a new jury can be somehow suborned to the state’s will.
Hopefully the imminent demise of uber-Zionist Starmer will bring this charade to a close, but I won’t be holding my breath.
Kevin, given the high percentage of Labour MPs who are Friends of Israel and have enjoyed; funding, sponsorship, holidays and perhaps other inducements finding a replacement shouldn’t be too hard.
Police sergeant Kate Evans gets paid to take risks for the ruling scum. Nobody has murdered her family, destroyed her home, or even locked up her in prison for that matter. Nobody made her join the organisation she joined.
As our host stated, there is no evidence that this policewoman is involved in the fuss around her (minor) injury. Not all coppers are bastards !
Very helpful reporting. Thanks again Craig for all that you do.
It’s quite unsettling to realise that the jury, and by extrapolation the majority of the population, are so unaware of the activities of Elbit (and Palantir and the rest).
“There are none so blind as they who will not see”.
Thank you! Just as well the jury system continues to exist. Ordinary people can see around the motives of bent judges!
A facade of justice – with an honest jury there to set things right.
Which of course is why the PTB are determined to abolish juries. Gradually, of course – salami slicing. Start with alleged rapists (because of course everyone knows they are all guilty, the filthy scum).
Mmm, it’s not just the rapists though, it’s any case likely to return a sentence of less then 2 years.
It’s great to see the Jury and the Filton people upholding the UN Charter.
To take action to prevent/stop a Genocide in part or in whole.
All that needs to be done now is for Western Leaders to uphold the same UN resolution.
The zionists who now run the Labour Party must be spitting feathers. All that money squandered, and the meticulous manipulation of the trial, via the judicial restrictions on evidence and context, alongside the brazen propaganda filtered through the media – all to sew up the case against Palestine Action – failed, when confronted with the very simple consideration of the facts by a fair-minded jury. No wonder they want to abolish them. And why we should resist that with all our might.
The focus now switches to the judicial review of the proscription. Conveniently without a jury.
Not so much, I fear. The money is not an issue – they have virtually unlimited funds. And if they have one distinctive feature, it is their utter persistence. They have learnt the lesson of the water that eventually wears away even the hardest rock.
Just to add Tom; they also have exclusive access to the Media Megaphone to more easily drown out any troublesome noises or mutterings.
I have sent a donation to the crowd-funder in celebration of this wonderful news. The British jury system isn’t quite dead yet!
A good decision. A fair decision. A right decision. But the depths of the state, its police and its prosecution service no no bounds as to what they will do to intimidate valid protest or in this case jail people trying to stop the crime of genocide.
No different indeed from the states attempt to jail as terrorists folks expressing peaceful political comment.
And then you look at the evidence emerging about Peter Mandelson when he was the ipso fact deputy prime minister and third musketeer. Gordon Brown who had prior knowledge of Mandelson’s confidential economic leaks to Epstein has said that his actions were inexcusable and against the interests of the country at the time of economic crisis. That’s an understatement.
Mandelson’s action as art and part of an elite international criminal ring was treachery, nothing less, and Starmer in his appointment of Peter Mandelson is part of the same. Both should be prosecuted for criminality. Sedition against the interests of one’s country is a grave crime and there must be a trial to establish the guilt of those who participate in it.
But the wider question is who else. Our so called Royal family have been shown to be rotten to the core. Andrew could not have operated alone and he didn’t. Indeed, what country in the world has a monarchy that participates in a criminal ring and criminal behaviour.. Andrew and his wife at the very least should be extradited to the USA for investigation and criminal prosecution.
And what country in the world has its royal palaces and residence exposed to the allegations that they were used for sex sessions and prostitution.
The UK, its police forces, its prosecution services, its most senior government ministers, and its so called royal family, are all being exposed to the allegation of being part of an utterly rotten burgh.
“Our so called Royal family have been shown to be rotten to the core”.
Not really. Don’t throw the baby our with the bath water. The late Queen and Prince Philip did a very good job, and apart from his obvious limitations the present King seems competent. (His obvious limitations include a strong tendency to overstep his constitutional duty not to engage in politics, nor speak about it).
Just compare the performance of our royal family with that of other states that have presidents or the like. Much more turmoil and trouble. The monarchy acts as a stabilising influence, slowing down politics and making it less exciting – which is good.
And they really are not “so called”. They are as royal as anyone can be, even if some people disapprove of them on moral grounds.
Oh dear. Your comment isn’t going to age well.
You may want to research the current King’s “mentors” as he was growing up – all of them (one after the other).
Here’s a handy link to one of Craig’s articles: https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2025/11/the-four-mentors-of-king-charles/
You can then return here and report on what you’ve found – just to add the balance.
I can’t say I disagree with Tom Welsh. Craig is decent and good but this doesn’t make him a seer or a psychic (and, even if true, examine closely your own family tree and see how far back you can go without finding a villain of one sort or another…)
At least the late Queen wouldn’t have any truck with zionists if she could help it; unlike, and the majority, I should think, of elected politicians.
@Tom – Maybe take your head out of monarchistic nursery stories. Those thieving scumsuckers are called “royal” by some people – that’s all. They have no special blood or rare human qualities.
The word “royal” has no other meaning than to describe exactly the sort of family that provides the hereditary head of state in the UK. You may disagree with the concept, but, unless you want to join the Humpty Dumpties of this blog’s commenting community, you can’t just start asserting new meanings for words that only you understand.
“… The late Queen and Prince Philip did a very good job …”
Of what? Bringing up all their sons to respect women and to be faithful to their wives?
Martydom in an unhappy marriage does not equal respect; I think the wives had affairs, too, and I wouldn’t blame them for it.
My PayPal attempt failed , but email and password were correct (triple-checked)
PayPal recently blocked payments to The Grayzone, Max Blumenthal’s excellent investigative news outlet. Keep trying, it might be a glitch. I wouldn’t trust PayPal though – they’ve been deeply compromised.

That’s odd. I contribute monthly to Craig using PayPal – but I made the CrowdFunder donation directly by card because I coulnd’t see another option I could use.
It’s a sensational rebuke from ordinary people to Britain’s lying genocidal zionist elite.
No doubt they and their media will tell us even more incessantly now that trial by jury *MUST* be abolished to address the ‘backlog of cases’.
Amazing result and common sense has prevailed. We must also repeal the Public Order Act.
Hear! Hear!
I don’t recall seeing the verdict on any NEWS programmes, funny how they’ve gone quiet, well done to the barristers working for the accused, the judge tried to tie his hands but unfortunately for him his ploy didn’t work, maybe the judicial bodies need to look into a judge, a judge by all accounts that was trying to pervert the law of justice
Are they related to a certain former PM?
The Secret Barrister provides a complimentary synopsis.
https://thesecretbarrister.com/2026/02/05/palestine-action-what-just-happened/
The Secret Barrister cites the BBC for “factual background”. I jest not. Typical blogger. This is what he quotes them as saying:
“Palestine Action allege Elbit Systems UK is involved in the manufacture and supply of weapons to the Israeli military – a claim the company strongly denies.”
Is it true that those speaking on behalf of this company deny it? Of course there may be a fictitious name use job here. What else is Companies House for? But according to the Campaign Against the Arms Trade (much more trustworthy than the BBC), Elbit UK have had British regime licences to export to the Occupation:

I have such respect for these wonderful human beings who have sacrificed and suffered so much for all our sakes.
Bravo!
And thank you to Craig for continuing to provide the receipts!
Just made an additional donation to the CrowdJustice fund and, although I’m not a Scot, I am 100% behind this.
May this whole horrific, inhuman facade come crashing down – and may we live to see justice done.
Thanks Craig, sorry can’t donate but grateful to hear the truth from you.
Contribution made with pleasure, admiration and gratitude for your important work against galloping fascism and vile genocide.
A bit off topic, but if the P.A. challenge in Scotland succeeds, is there a chance the judge will make the government pay your costs?
There is a chance yes.

Here’s an example of an establishment shagger fulminating without reference to the defence case, hobbled that it was. Your intrepid reporter added a few comments from Craig to redress the balance somewhat.
Thanks to Brian Red for also mentioning a similar site.
Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City FC, made comment on the conflicts worldwide. mentioning Palestine among other countries, and was told, basically, to shut up and focus on football, by the Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester and Region. Phrases such as – ‘ repeatedly straying into commentary on international affairs’ and ‘ be more careful in his future language’ – display the conceit.
‘ straying’ – to me implies that are talking to a child, while ‘be more careful’ conveys a touch of hostility
I include this as Guardiola has defended himself, and, perhaps fancifully, it seems akin to the jury’s not guilty verdict, in that those outside pressures expecting to be obeyed, have been disregarded.
[ Mod: Released from the spam filter. ]

The question should be asked : how representative is the “Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester and Region”?
And while we’re at it, what is the size of the Jewish community of Greater Manchester and Region (in figures)? Perhaps it is smaller than the average crowd attending a Ma City home match?
Back
Back in the day,let’s say 1988, British Rail released a series of commercial advertisements with a nostalgic aura. They were shot in black and white and one showed a blue stocking lady reading one of Iris Murdoch’s execrable novels,The Black Prince,if I recall correctly,although the actions of errant Royals might be distorting my recollection. Another showed an elderly orthodox Jew playing chess with a boy,presumably his grandson. Apparently,and again this involves the unsupported recall over nearly four decades,the commercials were created by a Jewish man. He wanted to create further commercials depicting people of Jewish stock but was prevented from so doing by TV bosses who thought that this was ethnically skewed in favour of the Semitic race. His response was to hire actors to dress in Jewish garb and to mob the unwilling executive outside his place of work,and berate him for alleged racism. However,in my opinion the executive should have,say, hired Sikhs to stage a counter demonstration arguing that their grouping is radically under represented on the box,given that there are twice as many Sikhs as Jews in the UK,according to census data. In my opinion asking for more Jews on the box in 1988 was asking for more snooker,and,lest we forget,this was the era in which Spitting Image lampooned the BBCs Points of View programme by having a viewer write to the delightful Mr Took saying I want more snooker on TV.By the way I’m mad. ” Whatever historical wrongs the Jewish people have endured,the current generation have no special claim on our sympathy and strident calls to learn from the lessons of history should be met with the insight that it is the Palestinians who are the victims of the recent and ongoiing genocide and it is Gaza that is the epicentre of the current holocaust
Cupidity 3 .v. Wisdom 0
It isn’t just the Man. City fans, it’s all the footy fans in the world who are reading, but ‘they’ just don’t get it.
I really don’t see what business it is of the Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester and Region what Mr Guardiola says. In this supposedly free, democratic nation of the UK, the only constituted authorities are the British ones.
And even if we were to accept the JRCOGMAR’s orders to say nothing about international affairs, who was it who decided to have two (or, often, more) nationalities with one foot in each? Surely it is the JRCOGMAR that, simply by existing, has brought international considerations into play.
[Disclosure: I have dual nationality, Argentine and UK; but I have never spoken or acted in favour of one against the other].
The filton Trial has highlighted the ‘people’ who have tried and still are trying to stop Genocide protestors and critics of Israel. All leading back to a nefarious network of zionists and pedophiles that tie together the labour party of Starmer and his puppet master Morgan McSweeney, protege of Peter Mandelson and the friend of Epstein.

This evening he is trying to stop people phoning him, emailing him, and taking photos of him, and he has told his lackeys at IPSO to circulate his demand for such contacts to stop. His demand was supposed to be “not for publication”, but news got out. Oh dear.
Seems he is running scared.
It didn’t seem to occur to him to take his phone off the hook, not open his email, and stay in a room somewhere. Hasn’t he heard the story of the Russian peasant and the little bird in the cowpat?* The third moral of that great parable is “When you’re in the sh*t, don’t shout about it.”
Will he do a Shirley Porter? He could also be David Kellyed. After all even Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t immune to the reality stated in the Godfather: “you can kill anyone”.

* The parable of the bird in the cowpat
A Russian peasant is trudging through the snow. He finds a poor little frozen bird, still breathing – just. He picks it up and trudges onward.
Next he finds a lovely fresh cowpat, still steaming. He carefully stuffs the little bird into the warm cowpat with just its little head poking out. And goes on his way.
The little bird thaws out and starts to sing.
A big bad wolf comes along, pulls the bird out of the cowpat, cleans it in the snow and gobbles it up.
This story has not one but three morals:
He who shoves you into it isn’t necessarily your enemy. He who pulls you out of it isn’t necessarily your friend.
And if you’re in it up to here, DON’T SING.
You’re welcome. ]
“It didn’t seem to occur to him to take his phone off the hook, not open his email, and stay in a room somewhere.”
Presumably his sense of entitlement told him he shouldn’t have to do that. He is a lord, you know.
Re. Mandelson, it’s possible the “king” is happy that attention is being distracted from his brother, “prince” Andrew. Immediately prior to the latest blow-up with Mandelson, there were reports saying that Starmer had “called” for the “prince” to testify before the US Congress. That news has been swamped now.
But the two men’s activities, Mandelson’s and the “prince’s”, may well overlap.
“Prince” Andrew was “trade envoy” 2001-11. Mandelson was trade secretary in 1998, EU trade commissioner 2004-08, and business secretary 2008-2010. They were both friends of Jeffrey Epstein. “Trade envoy” may sound like a joke job, mostly involving being surrounded by bevies of young women on yachts, but actually it’s a government position and the holder has access to a lot of information. Do the job and blab too much to foreign powers and you’re committing a crime. That’s on top of any crimes you may be committing to do with insider dealing and corruption.
“Prince” Andrew in 2008 was privately reported by US ambassador Tatiana Gfoeller to have railed against British anti-corruption investigators, as well as against journalists who “poke their noses everywhere”.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/us-embassy-cables-documents/175722
Both he and Mandelson have had Kazakh connections.
But so far, only one of these guys has had his properties raided by the police.
Gordon Brown has now accused Mandelson of betraying his country. That is extremely strong language for a politician. Brown remains compos mentis AFAIAA. He knows what he’s saying:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg1g83zvlyo
How serious was the vetting of “prince” Andrew? Let’s not hold our breath waiting for Brown to ask that question.
“Tatiana Gfoeller”?
Really? Seriously?? There’s someone called “Gfoeller”?
Please tell me it’s a typo.
Is this “royal author” trying to focus opprobrium on Ghislaine Maxwell or is he seeking to raise sympathy for her? A few years ago I’d have thought it might be the latter, but nowadays I doubt many Sun readers see the human side when they watch a video of what it’s like for a human being to be kept locked up in a small room:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/38152092/ex-pm-threesome-ghislaine-maxwell-royal-author-claims/
I’m hoping the war criminals Blair and Brown are soon implicated in the Epstein-Mandelson-“Prince” Andrew affair. Blair is a known moneygrabber, Zionist asset, and “lad”, while for the moment Brown’s ludicrous image as Mr Prudent and Frugal persists. Jack Straw would be a bonus.
Those who remember the rise of New Labour will recall that the MSM very much paved the way for them to enter govt, almost as if it was a given. The big question is whether that’s happening with Reform UK now.
PS – @Tom – Yes, Gfoeller is her name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatiana_C._Gfoeller
Well, well! I wrote:
““Prince” Andrew in 2008 was privately reported by US ambassador Tatiana Gfoeller to have railed against British anti-corruption investigators, as well as against journalists who “poke their noses everywhere”.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/us-embassy-cables-documents/175722
[…] But so far, only one of these guys has had his properties raided by the police.”
And now it’s getting very interesting. State media is reporting tonight that “Prince” Andrew may have “shared confidential information with Epstein as trade envoy”:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c99j01p1yjro
“(H)e appears to have forwarded official reports of [his visits as trade envoy] sent by his then-special assistant, Amit Patel, to Epstein, five minutes after receiving them.”
Five minutes! If Epstein was an asset of a foreign government, as we all know he was, then “Prince” Andrew is surely guilty not just of misconduct in public office (which carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment) but of espionage against Britain.
Lock him up!
The big question is who vets members of the royal family? Once upon a time, that question was asked in the CIA about “Lord” Mountbatten, the notorious royal sex abuser of underage males. Which journalist in the entire British media has the guts to ask the question now, and in public?
Methinks it’s not Keir Starmer who is teetering. It’s the man in the palace.
Magnificent Russian parable! Really, really, thanks, moderator! 😎
Their media outriders know all these facts but are still spinning the yarn that Sir Keir is a thoroughly decent man of the utmost probity, a devoted public servant etc, etc. The same line their US equivalents have been pushing about his fellow genocidaire Joe Biden.
A miniscule clique of carefully-selected media commentators sent out to gaslight the rest of the world.
Just wait until the PTB decide he’s dispensable.
Once he’s politically irrelevant we’ll probably finally be told why a host of young ‘male models’ attacked his house in three separate incidents.
Has there been some good speculation about those events? Maybe Starmer needed to be given a message by his masters? Trial still set for April 2026?
Blair’s “friend” Michael “Lord” Levy once had his house broken into and his wrist injured, possibly in a reminder referencing Psalm 137:5 (“If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function”):

It takes considerable muscle to put the frighteners on such a guy as Levy and even a mere pol like Starmer.
Sir Keir’s hardly a man that requires threatening. He’s gone above and beyond for all his domestic and foreign masters.
So the explanation is almost certainly the obvious one.
Mark Seddon poses the question as to whether Mandelson was protected by MI6, because he is MI6?
Or more likely MI5, given his dirty domestic role in changing the Labour party into the unrecognisable, politically ideologically confused mess that it is today.
I tend to believe that the Labour party has been so comprehensively undermined by the likes of of Blair and Mandelson, there almost must be some external third party driving their actions. Why even stay in a socialist party, fighting to move it rightwards, when there’s the Tory party and Lib Dems catering to that political wing? The whole Blairite project seems forced and unnecessary. And it’s interesting how Trump suddenly went from harsh Starner critic, alongside Musk, to praising the man, as if having had some intel briefing, perhaps?
Yesterday, audio emerged of the Green’s Zack Polanski, saying he’ll fight for Israel and Judaism; talking about increasing police numbers to tackle antisemitism : https://x.com/lmharpin/status/2019896011473531014 . It was apparently recorded some time ago, when Polanski was a Liberal Democrat, but it shows the cynicism about whether he’s really changed his opinions, that saw him attacking Corbyn on these issues, is justified?
“Yesterday, audio emerged of the Green’s Zack Polanski, saying he’ll fight for Israel and Judaism; talking about increasing police numbers to tackle antisemitism ”
It really doesn’t help when the comments on so many political blogs, especially US ones are infested by those who have a compulsion to air their belief that all the ills of the World are caused by the members of the Jewish religion to the extent that the comments have become almost unreadable. Not Zionists, not Israelis, but Jews. By implication they completely exonerate all the evil-doers who are not Jewish and if that’s not anti-semitism, I don’t know what is.

It’s not his Jewishness that’s the problem here. I’m agnostic, and I don’t care if someone is Jewish, Muslim, Christian or Hindu, nor would I ask someone their faith for the purpose of any kind of discrimination. But fanatical Zionism is a problem when it shapes everything that person believes. And I know, not all Zionists are Jews and not all Jews are Zionists. Zionism is often associated with beliefs in Israel’s exceptionalism or supremacy, and that leads on to the idea that only Israeli Jews’ lives matter in the Middle East. Having a UK politician say they’ll use their elected position to fight, ‘in the UK,’ for Israel, is a bit of a red flag.
We saw how Starmer did a 180 after winning the leadership, and prior to that, we saw the Liberal Democrats enter Cameron’s coalition govt and pursue policies they had no mandate for. Voters just need to be wary, that’s all.
There are just too many red flags IMO when it comes to Zack Polanski.
Stevie Boy
Indeed. But with Corbyn and Sultana completely effing up Your Party’s precious launch window, with all that infighting, the Green’s are left as the only viable party of the left in electoral contention. Thus, in England at least, there is little option but to support them.
I might even be wrong about Polanski, I dunno, maybe ZP has genuinely been on a political journey and changed his views? The brutality inflicted on the people of Gaza has made many reassess their blanket, right or wrong, support for Israel.
I genuinely cannot see the great British public voting for the greens, or indeed for your/my/their_party. Reform stands a better chance but Farage can be relied upon to sabotage their chances at the last minute to support the tories.
I could be wrong, but …
Goose, I wasn’t trying to accuse you of anti-semitism. I felt, possibly wrongly, that you were criticising Polanski for “talking about increasing police numbers to tackle antisemitism”. The weaponising of the concept of anti-semitism by Zionists does not mean that all claims of anti-semitism are fake and part of this mendacious campaign, nor does the equally false equation of anti-semitism with criticism of Zionism or the state of Israel. Indeed, these falsehoods are themselves anti-semitic, in that they make life harder for ordinary Jews who may have nothing to do with either Zionism, nor Israel.
Goose would have been right to criticise him for it.
Did you hear from anything from these people about ‘rising antisemitism’ before a pro-Palestine leftwinger was elected Labour leader and Britain began supporting the Gaza Genocide? Be honest.
Goose
The questions to be asked about Zack’s vow to fight for Israel and against anti-zionism (sorry, antisemitism) is how old he was when he issued the vow and when it was made.
Back when he was a schoolboy in the 1990s?
Or a handful of years ago, in angry reaction to Labour falling out of zionist control?
As regards Lord Mandelson, he was protected and venerated by all of them. As beloved a figure on the conservative wing of the British establishment as among liberals.
Check out today’s highly sympathetic, softball interview with him in The Times. They will do everything they can to rehabilitate him and get him back controlling the Labour Party – policy and candidates – ASAP.
zoot
He was anti-Corbyn during the 2017-19 media frenzy around supposed antisemitism among the party’s then huge membership. As I posted above, in reply to Stevie Boy, I may be wrong about ZP and he may genuinely have changed his mind? I’d urge people to vote Green in England, because there is no other game in town with Your Party’s atrocious, almost suspiciously so, botched launch.
But it does reflect somewhat poorly on ZP’s judgement that he bought into the whole ‘Labour, under Corbyn, is anti-Semitic’ nonsense – nonsense clearly PLP & press manufactured to undermine support.
You are right to be sceptical about his transformation.
After the Labour AS psyop, the Gaza Genocide, Savile, Epstein etc etc it is obvious there is no level of cynical deception and depravity that the British elite will not sink to. (Look at yesterday’s Times puff piece for Lord Peter.)
It was very noticeable too that from the beginning all Zack’s loudest supporters in left media were people who had promoted the zionist AS scam.
‘Antisemitism’ is a zionist tool used to defend the disgusting Israeli regime. Anyone spouting this BS can be safely assumed to be a zionist and a defender, and fan, of genocide. The UK has enough laws to protect people from abuse, we don’t need anything special for the Jews, or Muslims, or Trannies.
‘Everyone’ has known about Mandelson for decades, this faux shock and outrage has echos of the Jimmy Saville case. And, Starmer, of rent boy infamy, is common to both cases ! Westminster is still stuffed with pedos, rapists and crooks but we are supposed to believe they are outliers and exceptions and unknown to MPs. Complete and utter BS.
‘Westminster is still stuffed with pedos, rapists and crooks’
Indeed. All painstakingly selected by characters of the same ilk. It’s almost certain that a majority of Labour MPs in 2026 were selected by Lord Peter himself.
His legacy is going to be with us for decades to come, even if the establishment can’t return him personally to power yet again. (Although it would be very foolish to rule that out).
Well, isn’t it a sheer delight to see the Ponce Of Darkness getting his just desserts ( no, not a slice of humble pie – that wouldn’t agree with his oh-so-delicate system – but a gut-busting portion of Epstein Tart ). And as if that isn’t supplying one’s RDD of roasted Shady Freud, we have the added pleasure of seeing ZioNihilist willy-waver, Starmer – a creature whom when * God * was dishing out gorm, decided not to waste any of that valuable quality on that ” tool maker’s son ” – squirming like a bloodless worm on the hook of his own complicity and sense of impunity. Ah, laugh? I almost stopped using the Guardian as toilet paper: almost 🙂
And the hilarity doesn’t even end there; no sir, as if the sight of those two – not quite ” Scary Monsters ” but def ” Super Creeps ” – getting politically whacked isn’t sufficient, the Gods of Laughter have graced us with the spectacle of the maniacal contortions of the EUK ( no doubt soon to be followed by the U.S ) MSM/Political Caste & The West Idiotocracy generally, attempting to deflect the now incontrovertible evidence that EPSTEIN WAS MOSSAD – with all the nefarious honeypot/kompromat of Western financial & political ” players ” involved in THAT nexus of deviance, the depths of which we’re only being allowed to see the epidermis of; imagine what the bones & marrow comprise; actually, don’t imagine, the darkness will horrify you – on to ” Russia “, specifically that synonym for all past, present & future barbarity – ” Putin “. hahahahahahaha. Just when you thought * our * leaders/media couldn’t get any lower, any less credible, any more craven, stupid & dishonest, they go and disprove that misguided assumption.
In view of these events, I’d like to nominate that pea-brained pygmy – which? I hear you ask – in this case Tusk, for the Nobel Prize For Idiocy for his unflagging commitment to being a total arse, never uttering a meaningful/truthful word/thought in his entire bafflingly * successful * career as mewling catamite to power and virulent, unhinged Russophobia.
Maybe if he does receive that richly deserved accolade he’ll ” do a Machado ” and re-award his trophy to his namesake, ie the other Donald. No, not the Head Of The U.S Asylum For The Criminally Insane, ie Trump; the other other – Duck. Quack! Quack! Quack!

Robert,
that was quite the rant.
Poor Donald Tusk: “mewling catamite to power and virulent, unhinged Russophobia.”.
Wow.
Tusk isn’t Russophobic, he does, however, have a very well-grounded suspicion of and wariness towards Russia and in particular its military.
Given Poland’s experience with Russia in the 20th Century, he would be a fool to take a less wary approach.
(Perhaps Russophobic in the forgotten meaning of phobia – fear not dislike.)
As to characterising him as a “catamite to power”,memorable but overblown (sic).
Perhaps an example of a leader (anywhere in the world) who in your opinion doesn’t deserve that description?
Ah , Jakey me ol’ Brussels sprouter, taking a bit of time out from the Imaginot Line, the last line of Europeeing defence against Putin’s Golden Horde and it’s demonic intention to, eh…..preserve it’s national sovereignty & political integrity in the face of centuries old Western hostility and bad faith?
Call that a ” rant ” – lolsville ; nah, mate, that was a 5min burp of pre-breakfast gloating at I’m Mandy Fry Me & his pathetic enabler Starmer: looking forward to pishing on both their political graves.
Tusk is a fckn clueless buffoon, like the entirety of his EUK counterparts, who are presiding over/hastening the death of Europe as serious, coherent socio/political entity – FFS Exhibit A …..Gaga Kallas, an individual whose has done the formerly considered impossible, ie made Lynn Truss appear the apotheosis of moral & intellectual probity. Like all such current Political Class donkeys, he would rather initiate WW3 than admit the sheer folly of what they’ve done with/to Ukraine and this latest example of brainless desperation just sums-up the total redundancy of him and his entire cohort of clowns.
” Perhaps an example of a leader (anywhere in the world) who in your opinion doesn’t deserve that description? ”
Sure, no problem: President Vladimir Putin. Whom, I repeat, History will record as Russia’s greatest ever leader; a Houyhnhm beset by Lilliputian pygmies
What’s the weather like in St Petersburg?
Excellent, ie bracing & super-clear. How’s Laputa?
We’re quids in since Trump announced his intention to buy the place and slipped us each $1 million to vote it through; especially as the money’s arrived but he’s having trouble finding us.
“What’s the weather like in St Petersburg?”
I seem to recall that someone in these blog comments was going on about “playing the man, not the ball”.
Sense of humour failure?
It’s another of those irregular verbs:
I joke
You are off-topic
He plays the man, not the ball.

Robert,
I may have slipped up and mentioned my office address in the Boulevard Leopold III but it is unkind of you to take advantage of my goof (as the US staffers always say).
Seriously, leave the stream of consciousness stuff to Joyce. He got a Nobel Prize for it.
Not very good at this are you Jakey? As it happens, James Joyce is one of my literary heroes: alas, he didn’t win the Nobel Prize, though he should have, for Ulysses alone; but I have no illusions ( or desire ) that my impromptu postings here or elsewhere are remotely in the same league as a literary genius like J.J. Neither do I imagine I’m writing for the TLS or somesuch august organ. My only criterion when writing – or saying – anything is the avoidance of cliche – and I don’t always even succeed at that.
Robert Hughes
February 7, 2026 at 18:48
Touché Robert, Joyce did deserve the Prize.
What’s with the Jakey?
My colleagues in Bruxelles call me JK (the older ones JK redux)…
“Given Poland’s experience with Russia in the 20th Century, he would be a fool to take a less wary approach.”
Given the experience of the 171 (out of 193 in the World) countries invaded by Britain in the last three centuries, It’s a wonder that anyone talks to Britons at all.
Tempted to apologise to the 22 we missed.
Accepting what you posted as true you wouldn’t blame those countries for being wary of Britain now?
https://brilliantmaps.com/invaded-by-britain/
Indeed, B. But, y’know, that doesn’t count ’cause Britain was Great and the colonised were grateful for their servitude to Empire.
Just ask, eg J Swinney & his WM fellow slaphead S Flynn n pretty much all the current SNP; they just luv their nice, sparkly chains n job 4 life ( at least, pension for life ) effortless sinecures, innit
Erm, last time I looked at a history book, it was the Russians / Soviets who freed the inmates of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp complex and other camps in Poland, after nearly six years of occupation and rule of Poland by terror and other repressive means (including mass murder as punishment for acts committed by individuals) by Nazi Germany.
Russia under President Yeltsin back in the 1990s may have apologised for the Katyn massacre in 1941 but it was the Germans who “uncovered” the massacre and there may still be reason to consider that the Germans then might have tampered with the bodies and other evidence to put the blame on the Soviets.
” it was the Germans who “uncovered” the massacre and there may still be reason to consider that the Germans then might have tampered with the bodies and other evidence to put the blame on the Soviets.”
No, no, they may have been filthy Nazis, but if they were saying something bad about those damned commies, well, it just had to be the truth.
Oh give over. The Katyn Massacre occurred in 1940 when the area was firmly under Soviet control. It was only part of the Soviet oppression of their part of Poland (they signed a secret treaty with the Nazis to divide the country up remember), 320,000 Polish citizens were deported to the Soviet Union and in total150,000 were killed. Of 12,000 Poles sent to Dalstroy camp (near Kolyma) in 1940–1941 less than 600 survived. Polish Jews who escaped from the Germans into the Soviet sector were transported to Siberia from where few returned.
The Poles had never been forgiven for the defeat of the Red Army outside Warsaw in 1921 and the oppression continued post war up until 1989.
“The Poles had never been forgiven”. Maybe think harder about international relations and look at the location of Poland on a map;
“The Katyn Massacre occurred in 1940 when the area was firmly under Soviet control. ”
Were you there, so that you know that it happened in 1940, or are you relying on the Western version of events, which, of course, is always the unvarnished truth, even when it is shown to be complete bollocks?
“The Poles had never been forgiven for the defeat of the Red Army outside Warsaw in 1921 and the oppression continued post war up until 1989.”
Ah, yes, the innocent and peace-loving Poles, who never in all history have caused any trouble in their part of Europe. Now where have I heard that before?
Where did I say the Poles were blameless? They’d embarrassed the Red Army and Russia’s leadership.
An investigation conducted by the office of the prosecutors general of the Soviet Union in 1990–1991 and the Russian Federation between 1991 and 2004 confirmed Soviet responsibility for the massacres. In November 2010, in an attempt to improve relations with Poland, the Russian State Duma issued a declaration condemning Stalin and other Soviet officials for ordering the massacre. Gorbachev and Yeltsin both acknowledged Russian responsibility but it seems that they’ve all got it wrong. You’d better write and tell them.
Ah, so suddenly these Russians, who are supposed, in your world to lie as fast as a dog trots and therefore cannot be trusted, are telling the truth when they are saying what you want to hear. You remind me of the handwriting expert in the Dreyfus case: Where the handwriting resembled Dreyfus’s, it was because it was his and where it didn’t, it was because Dreyfus was deliberately disguising his hand.
It should be pointed out that withholding the first 10 pages of Charlotte Head’s notebook from the jury is not necessarily sinister. We’re getting into the weeds here, but basically, there’s a very long-running battle within the British legal system, going back at least to the First World War, about the distinction between motivation and intent. They are not the same thing, and laymen often confuse them. It’s perfectly possible, legally speaking, for the protestors to be well-motivated and still legally guilty. This forum is heavily left-leaning, and unfortunately, people on the left tend to think the ends justify the means. Judges — at least, traditionally — have been quite conservative. They have leaned towards upholding the letter of the law. That may have been what the judge here was doing, excluding motivation and concentrating on intent. That’s not a particularly nefarious position, and I don’t think any insincerity should be ascribed to it.
“(P)eople on the left tend to think the ends justify the means”.
We must be the natural bedfellows of Machiavelli then: “For although the act condemns the doer, the end may justify him.“
“… there’s a very long-running battle within the British legal system, going back at least to the First World War, about the distinction between motivation and intent. They are not the same thing, and laymen often confuse them. ”
Would it not have been seen to be fairer if the first ten pages of the notebook had been made available, but the difference between motivation and intent had been explained in court? By withholding the first ten pages, the judge was effectively implying that the distinction was something the jury was too stupid to understand. It is not uncommon within any profession to find the attittude that the members of that profession are privy to arcane matters that a layman would never appreciate or understand, the medical profession being particularly bad at this.
The hostile reception the small Israeli team received at Italian Winter Olympics opening ceremony pierced the carefully cultivated media notion, that no one in Europe cares about Gaza, other than Muslim immigrants. I hope Ursula von der Leyen and Kallas and other European elites were watching so as to comprehend just how out-of-step with public opinion they actually are. JD Vance, also in attendance, was also booed.
On the subject of further injustice, it looks like Iran could be next for the chaos bringers. This is what Tom Tugendhat, a key online advocate of Iranian ‘regime change’ said in a very recent podcast. Tugendhat previously complained he’d been subjected to antisemitism, in 2019, while on the campaign trail. Members of Tugendhat’s family fled the Nazis. This is what he said:
[sic]”…if the regime falls, then the Iranian empire, if you like, falls. And the Iranian empire, what we now call the Iranian state, is an empire in the sense that only about 50-55% of the people are Iranian. You know about 15-20% are Azeri, another 5-10% are Baluch. All these figures are slightly vague and there are Arabs and[sic]there are so, you know, there’s a whole bunch, there’s a complete patchwork of people. And various of these different groups are talking, well, this is our chance, right…This is our chance to…[Interviewer : Kurds]. Kurds, exactly right, to retake territory, to expand our holding or whatever it might be. So the idea that, you remove the regime and then it’s over, then you get some sort of Westphalian democracy, I think that’s unlikely…”
Tugendhat is a former UK security minister, here, openly discussing breaking Iran up as if talking about playing golf. These people don’t care a jot if Iran ends up like Libya post Gaddafi, or Iraq, post-Saddam – a sectarian, ultra-violent mess. So unbelievably self-centered and obsessed with the only country that matters to them. Tugendhat would be the first to complain, if massive refugee flows to Europe result from any civil war in Iran, a civil war ultimately brought about by the blundering U.S.
“And the Iranian empire, what we now call the Iranian state, is an empire in the sense that only about 50-55% of the people are Iranian. ”
Tom is talking through his Tugendhat, as one might expect from such a lowlife. All the people who live in Iran are Iranian, that is what “Iranian” means. Only 50-55% might be Persian, but that is not what he wrote.
An Iranian empire whose “Emperor”, the Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei, happens to be part if not wholly Azeri, coming from a town (Khameneh) in northwest Iran where most people happen to be Azeri.
Even the Pahlavis and, going back further in Iranian history, the Safavids (1500s – 1720s) had some Azeri ancestry.
Tugendhat sure does not understand Iranian society well to realise that “Iranian-ness” is about identifying with Iran’s long history, culture and traditions, and the values underlying them and their survival – values that include absorbing foreign people’s and ideas and turning them into Iranian people and ideas.
Tories (of all political shades whichever party they end up in: there is an ex military MP frighteningly similar to Tugendhat in Labour – touted by someone in the Indie as a Starmer replacement) are constitutionally incapable of appreciating diversity. It is utterly unnatural to them.
British posh types always think they understand the fuzzywuzzies better than the fuzzywuzzies understand themselves. They are far worse than their USA masters in this regard.
“Westphalian democracy”? What he actually seems to be advocating is the ideal of the racially based state. If only “50-55%” of people in Iran are Iranian, given some old crap about hundreds of years ago, then what % of people in Britain will this khaki-headed bozo say are British? But of course colonialist types like Tugendhat (St Paul’s and Caius) never realise in a million of their posh white private school years that what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Meanwhile, has he got anything to say about Qatar, where 90% of the population are non-citizens? And how about Palestine, where maybe half the current residents are pieds noirs colonial settlers?
Absolutely brilliant. The state have tried every way to demonise these excellent 6 people. Thankyou to all concerned.
Unfortunately, the state hasn’t finished with them yet.
Starmer’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has announced its intent to seek a retrial against these activists.
When you think of Starmer and the CPS, always, always recall his role in the Jimmy Saville case, and the Julian Assange case.
https://www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2026/02/07/filton-24-cps/
And his role in removing Jeremy Corbyn from high-level party politics. It’s probably not mentioned on bourgeois political science courses, but there’s a bit of an issue too about letting a recent former chief prosecutor become prime minister. This is before we get to why this guy who has such problems thinking well on his feet got to be a QC in the first place.
His wife Victoria Starmer née Alexander’s published biographical details seem very icky. Gotta wonder whether they’ve been through the laundromat. She loves horse-racing apparently. What contacts does she have in that world?
As for Jimmy Savile, British bourgeois hypocrisy about the sexual abuse of children is remarkable. Private boarding schools where it’s rife are thriving. Meanwhile the British Film Institute promotes the 2023 film Scala!!! (sic) – basically a series of interviews with scum involved in running the Scala cinema in London. This was notorious for providing under-age male prostitutes, as is almost boasted about in the film. AFAIAA they never got busted for it.
And the abuses and hiding of information by the ‘government’ continues to this day.
Mountbatten, Kincora, Epstein, MI5/6, Saville …
https://thegrayzone.com/2026/02/06/kincora-british-intelligence-run-sex-abuse-brothel/
Victoria Starmer, Polish-Jewish family, Mossad handler responsible for Starmer.
“Private boarding schools where it’s rife are thriving. ”
It’s amazing what people who haven’t been to a private boarding school are prepared to believe about private boarding schools. Perhaps they think that nothing has changed since the days of “Stalky and Co.” I suppose it also helps if you have the equally fallacious belief that all British middle class parents hate their children.
Got to admit, it’s interesting that a power poised to attack Iran releases documents that expose the British ambassador as a Zionist spy, bring down the kibbutznik chief of the British prime minister’s staff, and may yet bring down the former chief prosecutor who is currently British prime minister and said the Zionists have the right to cut off the Gaza water supply, which isn’t too far removed from “opposition” figure Michael Gove saying the IDF deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. Maybe Ed Miliband really will soon be in Number 10. Alternatively there could be a short reign of a Labour equivalent of Liz Truss just for the financial instability lolz$$$.
I don’t normally preface poems but given this is not my platform and to ensure this is NOT misconstrued I want to highlight that the Judge presiding at the Filton 6 trial was clear that the proscription of Palestine Action was a discrete and separate issue to the charges being considered by the Filton 6 jury. The defendants from Palestine Action were arrested in August 2024 prior to the proscription of the organisation (July 2025). The verdicts of not guilty therefore necessarily apply to the circumstances, pre-proscription, of the organisation. The poem does reference the subsequent proscription in 2025 but this is well within the limits of political speech given there are two separate Judicial Reviews of this.
